Never write a letter, never throw one away.
Thompson had a way of keeping anyone unfriendly to the very idea of him beyond even mere curiosity. In that case, you were a nice person doing the best you could. You didn't need "it"--anymore than you needed to become good friends with Andy Warhol, Ralph Nader, Harry Dean Stanton, or Dr. John the Night Tripper, whoever they were.

WAC? misses HST. Thompson put some of his best and funniest stuff in personal letters--and he wrote volumes and volumes of them. See the Charlie Rose interview, undated, but likely about 1997.
